The Hall Art Foundation, happily situated on an old dairy farm, surrounded by 400 acres of pastures, sits in juxtaposition to the dark, political, and intriguing art displayed on its walls this year.
The art museum will reopen to the public on Saturday, May 9 for its 2026 season. The Standard spoke with Hall Art Foundation director Maryse Brand about the upcoming exhibit and the daring, provocative, and political art that will be featured. The centerpiece of this season, Brand explained,
will be "A Farewell to the Western World." Borrowing its title from a painting by the acclaimed Romanian artist Adrian Ghenie, "A Farewell to the Western World" gathers a variety of paintings, drawings, sculptures and photography that depict imagery suggestive of global shifts and an irreverence towards systems of established order.
